X-Men Origins: Wolverine Movie Review
Now available on Blu-ray and DVD (Buy on Amazon)
After X-Men: The Last Stand left fans with a sour taste in their math, anticipation has been building for the next film, a prequel that looks at the early life of Logan, also known as the hairy, foul-tempered and clawed Wolverine. Unfortunately, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a disaster, and makes the aforementioned film look like an Oscar-winner in comparison. That's impressive, but not in a good way.
In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, we begin with a young Logan in the mid 19th century, who following a violent situation realizes his true nature. Scared and in shock, he goes on the run, led by his older brother, Victor - the man that would become Sabretooth. The two run amok through various U.S. wars, but Victor shows signs of drifting to the dark side; his distaste for humans and willingness to kill on command begins to worry his more moral partner. Nevertheless, the two are recruited by the government through a man named William Stryker, who promises them that they can find their true calling by carrying out missions for him. But Stryker's motives are less than sincere, and Logan soon goes on the run.
Of all the comic book characters in existence, Wolverine is generally regarded as one of the more interesting and complex characters imagined. A man with a forgotten past whose age is undeterminable due to his regenerative abilities, he has centuries of experiences under his belt and a disturbing past filled with murder, deceit and scientific experiments. As such, this makes Wolverine the best candidate for an origins story, even though the basics were already revealed in X2: United, one of the best superhero films ever made.
Unfortunately, Wolverine has so many back stories that it's hard to know where to begin. Apparently, the screenwriters also didn't know where to focus or end, either, as the movie is a jumbled mess. Whereas they should have focused one on or two central, highly regarded stories from the comics, it appears as though they took a little bit of everything, shoved it all together and hoped that audiences wouldn't figure out that there was lots of glue and tape under the surface. We're not that stupid.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine moves along at a furious pace, but that's not a good thing. The opening moments, where we see Logan as a child and then a montage of he and Sabretooth fighting in just about every war you can imagine, could have been its own, two-hour movie. Instead, this is just a sign that the writers aren't going to worry about character development or focus, but rather just piec together a bunch of scenes that roughly fit together. What we get is a haphazard mess designed to showcase a bunch of mutants fans have been clamoring to see for years, including Gambit, Deadpool, The Blob and a few others. Unfortunately, these other mutants just serve as distractions to the story and are woefully underdeveloped; Gambit, who seems to have some extra powers not seen in the comics, isn't as interesting as one would expect (his Cajun accent seems to come and go, too), but fans will be absolutely devastated by what becomes of Deadpool.
Characters aside, though, the screenplay is just a cluster. The dialogue is largely embarrassing, though it could have been worse. More importantly, the storytelling lacks focus, depth and intrigue. Wolverine jumps from one moment to the next, rather than establishing strong relationships and characters to make the audience actually care. The relationship between Wolverine and Sabretooth is an interesting one, and not unlike the one between Obi Wan and Anakin Skywalker. And while this relationship is indeed a running theme throughout the movie, it never feels completed or developed; Sabretooth's turn to the dark side is never fully explained, and the love-hate emotions that exude from the bristly man are barely explored. Liev Schreiber turns in a strong performance as Sabretooth, but the screenplay prevents him from being the complex villain he could have been.
The screenwriters needed to drop many of the elements included and instead worry about developing their central character. Wolverine's tragic relationship with Kayla Silverfox should have been the crux to the story, and yet it shows up in passing for a few minutes with no real development. More importantly, I actually believe that Wolverine's back story was developed with much more intrigue and care in the first two X-Men movies than it was here, in a film devoted to him. We learned almost as much about him in those films, and we actually cared at the time. Hugh Jackman gives his signature role his all, but with so little depth provided by the writers, his hardest task is to flex his shiny muscles and yell at the sky a lot. And he does yell at the sky a lot.
The writing aside, no love can be given to others involved in the making of this film. Gavin Hood, who directed the excellent Tsotsi, clearly wasn't up to the task of a big-budget action movie. Wolverine is fast-paced, and yet it's boring; the action sequences are unremarkable and forgettable; the rest is just dull. Yes, it's a movie about Wolverine, so it is entertaining on a visceral level, but it could have been so much better. There are a few sequences that should have really been something, such as the scene where Wolverine is injected with adamantium and subsequently goes berserk, but they were done better as flashbacks in X2. Hood is unable to build up anticipation for any scene, and he seemed content with just taking us from one moment to the next without any set up or foreshadowing. The picture feels wholly amateurish.
The visual effects are also stunningly bad. In this day and age, and with a movie that must have a massive budget, the visual effects crew has to be embarrassed by the finished product. There are multiple scenes where I laughed out loud at how bad the visuals were. In one scene, where Wolverine is looking at his new adamantium claws for the first time, the claws look absolutely cartoonish. In another scene, Wolverine jumps out of a plane and skips along the surface of the water; I'm pretty sure I could paint better-looking water with yellow watercolor and a spoon.
If you thought X-Men: The Last Stand was bad, wait until you see X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The movie has its entertaining moments, but overall is an embarrassing piece of filmmaking. The summer movie season has officially started off with a fizzle.

Venerable Southern Inn in Savannah's Historic District
Spanish moss hangs from the trees shadowing the cobblestone streets in Savannah's historic district. Here, 18th- and 19th-century buildings share space with quiet parkland and old cemeteries filled with crumbling marble cherubs and darkened headstones. Built in 1876, Dresser Palmer House stands on a street lined with old-fashioned townhouses. A wide wooden porch with light-green arches wraps around the front of the double-gallery mansion exuding southern charm.
Tucked away in rooms with names such as the Flannery O'Connor, Conrad Aiken, Wisteria, and Confederate Jasmine, you'll find yourself surrounded by antique furnishings. All rooms are different—some feature exposed brick walls, others fireplaces and claw-foot bathtubs, but they all have modern, private bathrooms and an elegant ambiance. In the Flannery O'Connor room, light pours in from the windows onto finely carved wooden furniture and romantic floral prints. An impressive four-poster bed anchors the Conrad Aiken room, and a brick wall lies behind the beds in the Confederate Jasmine room.
At Dresser Palmer's friendly evening socials, staff members serve a complimentary glass of wine and light hors d'oeuvres. In the morning, you won't be able to resist the lavish breakfast in the Victorian dining room, which has included items such as pear, pecan, and sausage quiche as well as peaches-and-cream french toast. Outside, a stroll along red brick paths winds past wisteria bushes, trickling fountains, and a statue memorializing Jimmy Carter's favorite peanut.
Savannah, Georgia: Cobblestone Streets and Well-Preserved Historical Mansions
Founded in 1733 as Georgia's first city, Savannah retains much of its original layout, including its 22 famous public squares, or trustee lots, many of which contain a historical landmark or two. The outline of Savannah's remarkably well-preserved historic district conforms to the city's boundaries before the Civil War. In addition to its multitude of antebellum homes and Regency-style mansions, the district has been declared the most haunted area in America by the American Institute of Parapsychology. Guided ghost tours of the city's spookiest spots, such as the allegedly haunted Colonial Park Cemetery, provide chills along with a chance to delve into Savannah's rich and colorful history.
A few blocks from Dresser Palmer are the green landscapes, wide boulevards, and ornate fountain of 30-acre Forsyth Park, the city's oldest park. After a visit to the Parisian-inspired park, you can head to bustling City Market, where four blocks of warehouses have been converted into quaint shops, restaurants, and boutiques.

Saint-Jean-Ligoure ( en occitan) est une commune française située dans le département de la Haute-Vienne en région Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

Géographie

Localisation

Hydrographie
La commune est traversée par la Ligoure.

Hameaux et écarts
La commune compte plusieurs villages, hameaux, écarts, lieux-dits : Esselet, Samie, les Champs, Lalet, la Ribeyrolle, Laplaud, Labrousse, le Pertuis, Chabreuil, l'Age du Bois, Luret, Lauterie, les Plagnes, etc.

Climat
Le climat qui caractérise la commune est qualifié, en 2010, de « climat océanique altéré », selon la typologie des climats de la France qui compte alors huit grands types de climats en métropole. En 2020, la commune ressort du même type de climat dans la classification établie par Météo-France, qui ne compte désormais, en première approche, que cinq grands types de climats en métropole. Il s'agit d'une zone de transition entre le climat océanique, le climat de montagne et le climat semi-continental. Les écarts de température entre hiver et été augmentent avec l'éloignement de la mer. La pluviométrie est plus faible qu'en bord de mer, sauf aux abords des reliefs.

Les paramètres climatiques qui ont permis d'établir la typologie de 2010 comportent six variables pour les températures et huit pour les précipitations, dont les valeurs correspondent à la normale 1971-2000. Les sept principales variables caractérisant la commune sont présentées dans l'encadré ci-après.

Avec le changement climatique, ces variables ont évolué. Une étude réalisée en 2014 par la Direction générale de l'Énergie et du Climat complétée par des études régionales prévoit en effet que la  température moyenne devrait croître et la pluviométrie moyenne baisser, avec toutefois de fortes variations régionales. Ces changements peuvent être constatés sur la station météorologique de Météo-France la plus proche, « Pierre-Buffière », sur la commune de Pierre-Buffière, mise en service en 1996 et qui se trouve à  à vol d'oiseau, où la température moyenne annuelle est de  et la hauteur de précipitations de  pour la période 1981-2010.
Sur la station météorologique historique la plus proche, « Limoges-Bellegarde », sur la commune de Limoges,  mise en service en 1973 et à , la température moyenne annuelle évolue de  pour la période 1971-2000 à  pour 1981-2010, puis à  pour 1991-2020.

Urbanisme

Typologie
Saint-Jean-Ligoure est une commune rurale, car elle fait partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.

Par ailleurs la commune fait partie de l'aire d'attraction de Limoges, dont elle est une commune de la couronne. Cette aire, qui regroupe , est catégorisée dans les aires de  à moins de .

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des territoires agricoles (92,8 % en 2018), une proportion identique à celle de 1990 (93,2 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
prairies (46,9 %), zones agricoles hétérogènes (39,9 %), forêts (7,1 %), terres arables (6 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Risques majeurs
Le territoire de la commune de Saint-Jean-Ligoure est vulnérable à différents aléas naturels : météorologiques (tempête, orage, neige, grand froid, canicule ou sécheresse), inondations et séisme (sismicité faible). Un site publié par le BRGM permet d'évaluer simplement et rapidement les risques d'un bien localisé soit par son adresse soit par le numéro de sa parcelle.

Certaines parties du territoire communal sont susceptibles d'être affectées par le risque d'inondation par débordement de cours d'eau, notamment la Briance, la Roselle, la Breuilh et la Ligoure. La commune a été reconnue en état de catastrophe naturelle au titre des dommages causés par les inondations et coulées de boue survenues en 1982, 1993 et 1999. Le risque inondation est pris en compte dans l'aménagement du territoire de la commune par le biais du plan de prévention des risques inondation (PPRI) « Ligoure », approuvé le .

Le retrait-gonflement des sols argileux est susceptible d'engendrer des dommages importants aux bâtiments en cas d'alternance de périodes de sécheresse et de pluie. 32,6 % de la superficie communale est en aléa moyen ou fort (27 % au niveau départemental et 48,5 % au niveau national métropolitain). Depuis le , en application de la loi ÉLAN, différentes contraintes s'imposent aux vendeurs, maîtres d'ouvrages ou constructeurs de biens situés dans une zone classée en aléa moyen ou fort.

La commune a été reconnue en état de catastrophe naturelle au titre des dommages causés par des mouvements de terrain en 1999.

So, how 'bout this April weather, folks? A blog written about the weather is a boring blog indeed. Normally. This, however, is a notable exception.
Some speculate that the weather remains wintry into late April simply because we had a mild season that lasted into January. In other words,winter arrived late and is making up for lost time. My personal theory, however, is that as tax season passes so too shall this weather. The heavens weep as the bureaucrats revel.

Marvelous version of a classic egg salad sandwich (or side a side salad, it's up to you). Everything is made better with avocado and in this case, there is creaminess from avocado and a little crunch from cucumber makes this one tasty egg salad.
And the last little touch, paprika. I started adding paprika to my egg salads only a few years ago and let me tell you, I've been missing out. Definitely add it!
If you notice, I also added my direction for making hard boiled eggs. I know that everyone had their own special method of making boiled eggs and this is mine. Feel free to try mine or just use your own. Either way, it will be one tasty salad.
Everything is made better with avocado and in this case, there is creaminess from avocado and a little crunch from cucumber makes this one tasty egg salad.

A diorama from Flight. Photo: Mihaila Bodlovic
Melbourne Festival: Flight
by Gully Thompson October 16, 2018 0 comment
Vox Motus' Flight is a powerful artwork about child asylum seekers that drives home global realities, says young critic Gully Thompson
Dioramas, still figures displayed motionlessly in a scene, might seem to be the province of your early school years: of landscape replication projects, presentations showcasing the science behind volcanoes or prehistoric Earth. But would you consider the classic style of diorama for theatre? As it turns out, play it right and you have an immersive, beautiful and heart-wrenching piece on your hands.
The set up of Flight, from UK company Vox Motus at the Melbourne International Arts Festival, is mysterious and intriguing. Led through the labyrinth that is Art Centre Melbourne's underground rehearsal space, you are taken into a waiting room, where one by one you're led to small viewing booths. Initially you're not told very much about the performance, only how it will work. I feel that this is a good thing; it adds to the sensation of not knowing what's going on, which is very important for this show.
The story follows two young boys, Kabir and Aryan, who venture across Europe seeking asylum. While the characters are fictitious, the book on which Flight is based, Hinterland, is constructed around interviews the author, journalist Caroline Brothers, conducted with refugees and asylum seekers.
Essentially Flight is "diorama meets comic book meets soundscape." The story is told through a kind of sushi-train that rolls different diorama panels around to your booth, each one lighting up in the order of the story. A narration track with music – sometimes serene, sometimes confronting and overpowering, often unsettling and disturbing – is played through headphones.
The result is simply superb. The diorama panels act as literal windows into these characters' lives. The earth-shattering soundscape is brilliantly constructed; as every new diorama panel lights up, it coincides with the sound. A scene in a boat switches back and forth from struggling underwater, sounds muffled, to coming up for air, hearing the terrifying sounds of others suffering alongside. This sound is terrifying, so unimaginable, yet so real. You might think that, because it's only still images and music and narration, this piece would not be as powerful as live performance, but somehow I think it's more effective.
What is it that makes Flight so real, so tense, so terrifying? The creativity of the dioramas, seen through the eyes of the boys, is part of this power. Police officers and border patrol are portrayed as giant walking seagulls; they scream demands, in the fashion of your typical seagull and act unpredictably. It brings home the experience of dealing with authorities who will never sympathise with what you've been through, how frightening they are to people who don't understand their language. We see European cities through the eyes of those who have never imagined anything like them. Tall buildings warp, looming in a surreal and uncanny way; voices and cheers are loud and intimidating.
Another reason for Flight's power is the single-person experience. You don't see any audience members reacting alongside you; everyone in the room experiences this alone, just you and the two boys. This makes it feel like a very personal experience. You and you alone have been permitted to witness this story. You and you alone walk with them.
This level of up-front intensity communicates the reality of a global situation. It doesn't just tell us what's going on, it puts us inside the story. It doesn't allow you to ignore the real gravity of the state of the world: we are forced to confront the harsh truth. Its story is brutal, yet remains heart-warming and hopeful, showing the resilience of these children. Although it's fictional you also know, in the back of your mind, that this story is real. So many people suffer these things, trying to find somewhere to be safe, and Flight honours their lives.
Beyond raising awareness, Flight is a very moving character story. The spirit of the plot is not about the impossible obstacles these boys face; while that is a key element, the essence of the show is watching them stay hopeful and move on. As the title suggests, they dream of taking flight. Even when their situation has hit rock-bottom, these two boys never show any sign of giving up hope. Flight is a show about terrible challenges and losses, but it's also about overcoming challenges and dealing with our demons.
Flight is a celebration. Not just of this strange yet beautiful art style, but of challenge and resilience. Of letting these powerful, intense, shockingly true stories get heard. Of the sheer determination and hope it takes to save yourself and those you love, and of how sometimes even that isn't enough. Flight, a celebration which deserves to be celebrated, soars to dizzy heights.
Flight, based on the novel Hinterland by Caroline Brothers, adapted by Oliver Emanuel. Director and co-designer Jamie Harrison, director Candice Edmunds, co-designer and lead model maker Rebecca Hamilton, composer and sound designer Mark Melville, lighting designer Simon Wilkinson, character artist Sav Scatola, storyboard artist Kenneth MacLeod.

Senators press Kavanaugh in second day of confirmation hearing
By Doug G. Ware and Sommer Brokaw
<< Show Caption >>
Sept. 5 (UPI) -- Washington, D.C., appellate judge Brett Kavanaugh returned to the Senate Wednesday for another impassioned day of confirmation hearings for the U.S. Supreme Court.
Trump's nominee for the high court bench began the second day of his confirmation hearing before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary Wednesday morning.
Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said the Yale law school graduate -- who spent 12 years on the federal appeals court -- is highly qualified for the high court.
As Wednesday's hearings progressed, Kavanaugh, 53, faced another grilling from Senate lawmakers with 30-minute rounds of questioning. Members of the panel were aggressive in their questioning Tuesday.
RELATED Kavanaugh grilled in Senate as 'pandemonium' grips confirmation hearing
When asked if President Donald Trump's personal views might influence his decision-making, Kavanaugh said he's an "independent judge" and plans to base decisions on the Constitution. He gave no clear answer, though, when asked about presidential subpoenas and pardons.
That's "something I've never analyzed or written about," Kavanaugh said.
It's a "hypothetical question that I can't begin to answer in this context as a sitting judge and nominee."
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., questioned him about controversial topics from abortion to gun control.
On abortion issue, he said that he would look at "importance of precedence" in Roe vs. Wade. On gun control, Feinstein pressed him on the Supreme Court's majority decision in a case that held semi-automatic rifles are constitutionally protected.
"As a judge, my job was to follow the Second Amendment opinion of the Supreme Court whether I agree with it or disagree with it," Kavanaugh said.
RELATED White House withholds 100,000 pages of Kavanaugh's records
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., questioned Kavanaugh about confidential emails, suggesting he might have misled the Senate about the hacking of Senate Democrats' emails years ago, while he was in the Bush White House.
"We have discovered evidence that Judge Kavanaugh misled the Senate during his 2004 and 2006 hearings," Leahy posted on Twitter. "Truthfulness under oath is not an optional qualification for a Supreme Court nominee."
Grassley also put into the record 70 letters from people opposing his nomination and letters he said supported Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh, nominated by President Donald Trump in July to replace retiring Kennedy, is walking a tightrope trying to allay Democrats' fears that he's too conservative and GOP concerns he isn't conservative enough.
"The Brett Kavanaugh hearings for the future Justice of the Supreme Court are truly a display of how mean, angry, and despicable the other side is," Trump tweeted Wednesday. "They will say anything, and are only ... looking to inflict pain and embarrassment to one of the most highly renowned jurists to ever appear before Congress. So sad to see!"
If Kavanaugh is approved by the judiciary committee, his nomination will move to the full Senate for confirmation. The panel is expected to finish questioning later this week.

EagleSpeak: China: The Times They Are A-Changin'?
As a motivator, if you think about it, China has grown for 30 years at a rate of about eight percent a year, meaning that the economy has doubled in size every seven or eight years. And that period has come to an end. And so what it's looking for is a new source of domestic legitimacy, growth and unity, and that has forced the government to draw on new impulses, and one of the ways that it's doing that, of course, is by turning to nationalism. And it's cultivating a sense that China should rally around the flag. It's encouraging students in school to study the history of China's victimhood.
Victimhood seems a pretty poor place to start - I think some guy in Germany took that route a few years back.
Not that China doesn't have some historical grievances (as did Germany). The question for the CCP is which path to follow - focusing on the past to seek to pump an aggressive patriotism, or focusing on the future in which the past is overcome by success in the modern world. But the latter path may lead to shrinking power for the CCP . . .
It is interesting to hear the opinion that China has moderating influences to which the CCP is sort of responding.
The answer lies in Argentina's domestic situation at that time. *** With no appearance of legitimacy, the junta resorted to resolving a standing nationalist grievance, the outcome of which could appeal to Argentine patriotism and popularly justify continuation of junta rule.
There are plenty of other examples of internally threatened regimes who resort to external violence to keep their power.
. . . fundamentally, the rule of the Communist Party relies on faith of a certain kind. Faith in the party above all.
The interview appears to have taken place before the current Hong Kong embarrassment to the Chinese power structure.
UPDATE: Cleaned up one split infinitive.

Neon lights on city streets and dark alleys in your mind – New album coming from Kizunaut
The Helsinki-based synthwave artist Kizunaut will release his next album The City by the Sea on 18th of October 2020. Drawing influences from alternative rock, industrial and contemporary electronic music, The City by the Sea offers future oriented synthwave with a human touch built around the theme of urban life.
The artist's background in rock and industrial bands can be heard in the emotional, raw and energetic sound of the album. "Major influences in the making of the album were Nine Inch Nails' Pretty Hate Machine and Nitzer Ebb's Ebbhead. These albums were not so much a direct influence than a model for combining influences from pop, rock and electronic music", Kizunaut elaborates on the musical influences of the album in a recent Facebook post.
The lyrics and overarching narrative of the album look at cities as places of dual nature: They are places where you can pursue your dreams, party without limits, fall in love and find true friends. They are also places, where you can fail to reach what you set out to do, be sucked into destructive cycles of hedonism and become isolated from everyone else.
"While the album is inspired by personal experiences, it's also influenced by my interest in urban studies and sociology. It's a kind of an attempt at mirroring my experiences into something more universal and in turn hopefully offering a listening experience that will be memorable and resonate with the listeners", Kizunaut explains.
Known for his energetic live performances, Kizunaut has been popularizing synthwave in Finland as a part of the Helsinki Synth City artist collective from 2019 onward. The album will be up for pre-order on Bandcamp from 2nd of September onward and will be released globally to streaming services such as Spotify on 18th of October. A cassette version will follow later.
More information about Kizunaut
Genres: Synthwave, Synthpop, Industrial, Independent Electronic
Kizunaut is a Helsinki-based independent electronic artist who produces music influenced by synthwave, synthpop, industrial and contemporary electronic music. Known for his energetic live performances, eclectic approach to synth music and thoughtful lyrics, Kizunaut has been cultivating a cult audience from late 2017 onward.

Differences Between The Upper North Thailand And The Lower North Thailand
One discernable difference between the Upper and Lower North Thailand is topography. Upper North Thailand is characterised by long valleys generally running north south. The climate has three seasons, hot [ April to May ] cool and rain [ July to September ]. Approximately 72% of the area is mountainous Mark Giordano Jersey , 21% upland and 8% lowland. The lowland is cultivated by the Tai people to produce wet rice.
Lower North Thailand has 45% of its total land mass less than 150 metres above sea level and is thus similar to Thailand's Central region. However the two mountain extensions of the Upper North, [ 1 ] Thanon Thang Chai Range to the west and, [ 2 ] Petchabun Range to the east attract an extension of swidden hill tribe communities as in the Upper North, all part of the exodus from China of these ethnic minorities over the past hundreds of years. The geographic differences in topography need to be appreciated as the ethnic, sociological and cultural differences are essentially between lowlanders and highlanders [ Hill tribes ]. These classifications and detailed explanations are discussed in North Thailand People .
About Central Thailand
Central Thailand is situated on the central plains of the Chao Phraya River and the Meklong River valley. The first substantial civilisation here was that of the Mon people and during the 6th - 9th C its Buddhist Kingdom was referred to in chinese records and on silver coins as '' Dvaravati ''. Influences from India when merged with Mon characteristics formed the basis of religion, art Jaromir Jagr Jersey Sale , architecture and public administration.
About South Thailand
South Thailand comprises the Southern Peninsula with the Andaman Sea to the West and the Gulf of Siam to the East. It is a mountainous region and the Phuket Mountain Range is the most important on the West from Chumphon to Krabi and to the East is the Nakhon Si Thammarat Mountain Range from Surat Thani to Satun. Between these ranges are the plains and limestone hills and to the South the Sannkalakhiri Mountains which divide Malaysia and Thailand.

Most days begin with a review of any issues that have occurred during our overnight and have been handed over to our team in APAC to pick up. We then work to allocate any tasks to the team to ensure they are addressed as efficiently and thoroughly as possible. Throughout the day I am typically involved in following up any of these issues, as well as working on various HR and administrative needs that arise.
One of my primary objectives is to promote effective collaboration and a happy overall working environment here in the office, and the fact that our team gets along so well is something I take great pride in. It sounds trite, but we really do treat each other as members of a family. In addition, one of the things I like the best about my role is that is there really isn't a "typical" routine; the variety keeps me learning and energized.


Six, long years ago a little black puppy was born in Snohomish, WA. She was the tiniest and most adorable looking wiggle worm imaginable. I knew by two weeks old she was to come home to me. It was a grueling 10 week wait until my little Star Puppy, Lyric, was finally home. Finally to be forever with me until time took her naughty self from me. The last six years have had their ups and downs. The trials and tribulations we went through were nothing short of the amazing when we finally succeeded – especially in weight pull.
Lyric, you've given me your all – complete with a myriad of faults – and you've shown me what heart is. I truly don't deserve the absolute adoration and love you bestow upon me daily with unfailing loyalty and devotion. You've not been an easy dog to live with but you've made the most of every moment we've had together. I am so proud to call you MY dog and will be blessed for years to come with your antics lighting up my life for a very long time to come.
Here is to many, many more my little Tater Tot. Happy 6th birthday, Lyric. Let's rock this world some more.

You weren't a planned partner. You were only supposed to be a temporary fixture in our home back in 2009 and now look at you, my sweet boy. You've grown roots here and came to call this place home. We don't know much about your past but what we do know about your future.
The last few years have been a trip. You've taught me a new lesson in life and in patience with every step we've taken. You've challenged me to grow as a trainer and dog fancier. You've given a whole new meaning to 'walking vet bill' with your antics as well but I couldn't change a thing (except, maybe going a bit easier on the spending?!). You're our little wonder bull. Our short bus who tried and could. Here is to many, many more years together. We still have many adventures we need to take and mountains we need to climb.
Happy 9th Birthday, Duo! We love you in all of your goofy ways!

A day that started off shadowed in sadness for the loss of Ryker's siblings, Sinbad and Hoover, who were murdered by Genesee County Animal Control four years ago ended in a bright future and four years of wonder and learning.
Lyric was born in Snohomish, Washington to Hitman and Trina (of Caragan Kennel) in a very large litter. She was the smallest of the lot and while many folks would have given up on her, despite her strong-willed nature, Cheryl didn't. She saw something special in this feisty little baby and worked to make sure she thrived. I saw her for the first time in photos at two weeks old. I knew that, hell or high water, she was going to find a way to come to me. Luck was in my corner and she was able to come to Michigan with the aid of Paul and his wonderful wife. They were flying home with their beautiful boy, Simon, from the same litter and offered a ride to my little princess.
She came home with me on February 18, 2008 at the tender age of 10 weeks. I couldn't believe how tiny she was and how unbelievably naughty she was! Simon outweighed her by quite a bit and she had no qualms body slamming him and shoving him around. I should have known right then and there what I was getting into!
It's amazing how far we've come over the years. Lyric has never ceased to amaze me in what she is willing to do any how hard she tries to please her handler. Here's to many more years together, Tater Tot. Momma loves you!

Swedish national coach Rikard Gronborg has presented his roster for the Olympic men's ice hockey tournament on Tuesday.
The Swedes announced three goaltenders, eight defencemen and 12 forwards who will compete for the Swedish men's ice hockey team at the 2018 Olympics in Korea. Two more roster spots are open and will be filled with two additional forwards.
The current roster includes five players who have won gold at the 2017 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship last spring including goaltender Viktor Fasth and forwards Dennis Everberg, Carl Klingberg, Joel Lundqvist and Linus Omark.
Ten players join from teams in the KHL, nine play in the domestic SHL and four in Switzerland.
Joel Lundqvist, who captained Sweden to gold last May, is the most experienced player with 141 international games for the Swedish men's national team. Defenceman Staffan Kronwall (104) and forward Linus Omark (101) also have more than 100 national team games where Omark scored the most (19) goals.
34-year-old Lundqvist is also the oldest player on a roster full of experience with an average age of 29. Only one player is younger than 23: millennial Rasmus Dahlin. The 17-year-old defenceman is a candidate for becoming the next number-one-draft pick in the NHL and recently played at the 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship where he won a silver medal and the Best Defenceman award.
Sweden will have a pre-tournament game in Incheon near Seoul against Canada on 12 February before the tournament starts in Gangneung where all ice sports competitions will be held.
Tre Kronor won silver at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games. This year they will face countries from their neighbourhood in the preliminary round with archrival Finland, Norway and Germany. The Germans today announced a 30-man preliminary roster with the final selection to follow on 23rd January.
Sweden has previously announced the roster of its women's national team for the 2018 Olympics.

Taiwanese nuclear politics heats up
Chain Reaction #119, Nov 2013, www.foe.org.au/chain-reaction/editions/119
A parliamentary vote on whether to hold a referendum on the completion of the Lungmen nuclear power plant in Taiwan descended into a brawl between opposing parties on August 2. The vote, proposed by the ruling Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang − KMT), had been scheduled to decide whether construction of Taiwan's fourth nuclear power plant, which is nearing completion, should continue.
Fourty politicians from the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) barricaded themselves inside the legislative chamber on August 1, remaining there overnight in an attempt to stop the August 2 vote taking place.
The brawl broke out as KMT politicians tried to take possession of the podium to allow the vote to proceed. Television footage showed politicians pushing and shoving, two male politicians wrestling on the floor, and bottles and cups of water being thrown at each other. The scuffle led to the session being suspended, without a vote on the referendum taking place.
The DPP is calling for the Lungmen plant to be scrapped without holding a referendum. At least 50% of eligible voters would have to participate in a referendum for it to be binding. Taiwan has never passed a referendum. The 50% participation threshold has not been reached in any of the six referenda held since the Referendum Act came into effect in January 2004, despite those referenda being held in conjunction with national elections in 2004 and 2008. The Taiwan Anti-Nuclear Action League is calling for the Referendum Act to be made less restrictive.
The KMT said it would arrange six shifts, each comprising 15-20 people, to break through the DPP's grip on the podium, but the ruling party later said it would put on hold a motion to allow for a referendum on the nuclear plant.
Greenpeace Taiwan warns that in the event of a nuclear accident, none of the subcontractors working on the Lungmen power plant would shoulder any responsibility. At an August 2 press conference co-hosted by the Green Citizen's Action Alliance, Greenpeace said that General Electrics and Mitsubishi are indemnified against all responsibility. Senior Greenpeace member Ku Wei-mu said the contractors had no right to ask Taiwanese to trust the safety of nuclear reactors if they themselves were not prepared to accept liability.
On July 31, Lin Tsung-yao, a consultant on the Lungmen plant's safety monitoring committee, posted a report detailing a number of construction problems on the project. Lin questioned the quality of GE's structural designs, and said that the project is hampered by the dearth of professionals at the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Atomic Energy Council who understand the issues and can adequately oversee the project.
The DPP is calling for a phase-out of nuclear power, and even the KMT has pledged to make Taiwan nuclear-free by the middle of this century. Six reactors at three plants currently provide about 18% of the country's electricity.
On March 9, anti-nuclear rallies swept across Taiwan ahead of the second anniversary of the Fukushima disaster. According to rally organisers around 200,000 people attended protests nationwide, with 120,000 taking to the streets in Taipei. An opinion poll conducted by the Taipei City Government in March showed that 66% of residents in the capital wanted the Lungmen plant to be scrapped, with just 18% supporting its continuation.
The Fukushima disaster resonated strongly owing to similarities and links between the two countries. Taiwan and Japan both suffer from seismic activity (a 1999 earthquake in Taiwan killed around 2,400 people). Both countries are hit by typhoons − in mid July, a typhoon left Taipower's Chinshan 2 reactor offline and in need of repair.
Taiwan's Shihmen nuclear power plant may have been leaking small amounts of radioactive water for more than three years according to a report published in August by the Control Yuan, a government regulator. A Taipower official said the water did not come from the storage pools, but may have come from condensation or water used for cleaning up the floor. The Control Yuan did not accept the explanation and asked Taipower to look into other possible sources of the leak such as spent fuel storage pools. The contaminated water has been collected in a reservoir next to the storage pools.
The Control Yuan said there had been a catalogue of errors, including a lack of a proper plan for how to handle spent nuclear materials and inadequate supervision by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. "The company has yet to clearly establish the reason for the water leak," it said.

Q: JFace: difference between ITreeContentProvider and ILazyTreeContentProvider After reading JavaDoc for ILazyTreeContentProvider and Virtual Tables and Trees I am a bit confused. Do they really mean that with a simple ITreeContentProvider all elements have to be loaded when the tree is created? I expected that getChildren() would only be called when expanding an element (and hasChildren() to be called to determine whether the plus sign should be shown). Or are they intended for the case where some elements have many children?

A: Found this:

Support for SWT.VIRTUAL trees - see bug 112000. Note that all along, TreeViewer implemented lazy trees: the tree content provider's getChildren() method is only called when the user expands a node. The virtual tree viewer is helpful if there are lots of children per parent, or if it expensive to compute the information needed for each child.

New EICR rules from 1 July
All new tenancies commencing 1 July 2020, will need an Electrical Installation Condition Report and any renewals or name changes thereafter will need a new report. By 1 April 2021, all tenancies will need one regardless of status.
The Government has laid out The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, meaning landlords must ensure every fixed electrical installation is inspected and tested at least every five years by a qualified person. The Regulations also state that a landlord is required to obtain a report of the results of the inspection and test, supply it to each tenant within 28 days and retain a copy until the next inspection is due.
Gordon & Co. will commence inspections and testing on all managed tenancies regardless of status to ensure all tenancies comply by 1 April 2021. The cost of the inspection and testing will be issued by email shortly. If you believe for any reason your property may no longer be let after 1 April 2021 and you will, therefore, not require the EICR please inform your Property Manager at your earliest convenience.
Upon request, the report must be provided to the local housing authority within seven days.
The private landlord must supply a copy of the last report to any new tenant before occupation, or any prospective tenant within 28 days of a request from the prospective tenant.
The Regulations require local housing authorities to enforce the rules and they have the power to arrange remedial action.
Proven breaches of the Regulations can result in the local housing authority imposing a financial penalty of up to £30,000.
If you have any questions about this, please speak to your Property Manager, but do be patient as we are particularly stretched at the moment.

La Domus Galilaeae è un centro di formazione, di studio e di ritiro spirituale ideato e gestito dal Cammino Neocatecumenale, situato sul Monte delle Beatitudini, in Israele.
Scopo della Domus è anche quello di "leggere il Vangelo alla luce della tradizione e delle Liturgie ebraiche", perché questo aiuta a capire "il mistero di questo popolo, che non dimostra l'esistenza di Dio, ma, come testimone vivente, ne proclama la presenza lungo tutta la storia".

L'origine
L'idea nacque dal desiderio di papa Paolo VI di costruire in Israele un centro dove i seminaristi potessero completare la loro formazione prima di essere ordinati.

All'inizio degli anni '80 la Custodia di Terra Santa offrì al Cammino neocatecumenale la possibilità di costruire un centro di formazione, di studio e di ritiro spirituale su di un terreno situato sulla montagna delle Beatitudini.
Alcuni anni dopo, nel 1994, il progetto fu appoggiato anche da papa Giovanni Paolo II, che vedeva in esso un servizio per tutti i popoli e "per tutta la Chiesa".

La costruzione iniziò quindi nel gennaio del 1999 con la posa della prima pietra contenente un frammento della tomba di san Pietro benedetto dal Pontefice e fu completato l'anno successivo.

Progetto
Il progetto è opera dell'iniziatore del Cammino neocatecumenale, Kiko Argüello, e di alcuni architetti italiani e spagnoli. La costruzione è in stile moderno ed è costituita da tre livelli distinti, che degradano verso il lago di Tiberiade.

Nel primo livello (o terrazza), più alto rispetto al lago, è presente un centro congressi che può contenere circa trecento persone ed è dotato di servizi di traduzione simultanea: esso viene utilizzato per incontri internazionali di teologia, di studi biblici, incontri di Conferenze Episcopali, incontri per la formazione permanente dei presbiteri e per la formazione di seminaristi nell'ultima fase di preparazione al presbiterato.
È presente anche una biblioteca computerizzata (completata nel marzo 2005), anch'essa in stile moderno, per lo studio e l'approfondimento delle Scritture.
Vi è poi un Santuario della Parola, a disposizione degli ospiti della casa, per scrutare la Bibbia. Sulla parete di fondo del Santuario si trova un tabernacolo che contiene, su due livelli, il Santissimo Sacramento e la Sacra Scrittura, secondo quanto indicato nella Dei Verbum.

Il resto della Domus ospita inoltre una chiesa per le celebrazioni eucaristiche (che può accogliere fino a trecento persone) ed una cappella del Santissimo, sormontata da un calice stilizzato che fa riferimento alla Passione di Gesù.
Infine, attorno al Chiostro centrale sono disposti gli altri servizi: il refettorio, sale per incontri, l'ingresso principale con la reception, la cucina.

La costruzione, finanziata da vari benefattori (tra cui alcuni cardinali e vescovi) e dalle comunità del Cammino neocatecumenale, è iniziata nel gennaio 1999 sotto la direzione di un architetto ebreo, Dan Mochly di Haifa, in collaborazione con un architetto argentino, P. Daniel Cevilan ed è stata inaugurata nel 2000 da papa Wojtyła, che visitò Giordania ed Israele in quell'anno.

'At-risk' is the wrong term to use
Teenagers labeled "at risk" tell me they feel like there is something wrong with them
'At-risk' is the wrong term to use Teenagers labeled "at risk" tell me they feel like there is something wrong with them Check out this story on DemocratandChronicle.com: http://on.rocne.ws/1NTb5Nz
Rochester Published 5:11 p.m. ET Nov. 14, 2015 | Updated 5:12 p.m. ET Nov. 14, 2015
The term "at-risk youth" is used by many adults who do good work with and on behalf of young people. But the phrase is troublingly negative, emphasizing threat and vulnerability. What are we doing to our young people by describing them that way?
It could be said fairly that all youth are at risk of not becoming healthy adults given the preponderance of negative influences and pressures our culture provides. But definitively, some kids face far more stressors than others, and have far fewer resources with which to respond. Ironically the term "at-risk youth," although intended to direct more supports toward kids who face tough challenges, can adversely affect the very people we wish to support.
Teenagers who have been labeled "at-risk" tell me it makes them feel like they have problems, or that they ARE problems, as if there is something wrong with them. Being called "at-risk" doesn't inspire them or give them confidence. Instead, it communicates low expectations.
Specificity may be helpful. The term "at-risk" can refer to many things, including: living in poverty, struggling with depression, potentially not graduating from high school, or having violence in the family. Without knowing exactly what our youth are dealing with we compromise our ability to strategically target efforts to address the specific challenges they face.
If we want to help a student stay in school, we need to identify what jeopardizes her status there, and address that. Does she have bad grades? Poor attendance? Behavior or health problems? Why? We might begin best by asking her. We then could reference "a student with untapped potential who is at risk of failing out of school due to bad grades" instead of "an at-risk youth." The phrasing is clunky, but it identifies the challenge AND the promising possibility. Since hardships often come in clusters, another option is "Youth who face multiple barriers to success."
Many adults understandably imagine that "at-risk youth" are scary, unfriendly and unappealing. This perception fosters division and isolation. The attitudes we have about the young people involved impact their experience and our own. We can all strengthen our community by focusing our language and attention on reinforcing teen-agers' resourcefulness and their strengths, rather than their problems.
